What is life?

Maybe is sad to think that

Humans barely now happiness

For a short time

But most of their time is rule by

Fear and Sorrow

Since the dawn of time

We think about all of the bad stuff

We make false conclusions or theories

And what does that do?

Make us sad

Our lives depend on A Time

A time that we don't know if it's real

Or an ilusion to keep life going

It all depends on that arrow of time that keeps going foward

What is life?

People killing themselves

Humans barely being happy

Sorrow dripping from our heads

like rain drops

Fights

Wars

Inspirations

Dreamers

Workers

Families

Sadness

Sorrow

Emotions

Thinking

Everything

Everything that has happened once in our life time

Is Life

There is no other life after this one

It's just one

Our lives are like seperate rollercoasters

Who go up and down at everymoment

Making you stronger

But sometimes we are atack by the smartness of the serpent

With its venom running through our veins

Not making us move forward

Or a Metoerite Makes your universe fall into endless darkness

Problem after problem

War after war

Fear after Fear

Emotion after emotion

Attack after attack

And so the cycle goes on

Never stoping until we die

Your love for everyone drowning in an endless sea of sorrow

the only thing that comforts you is the dripping sound of the water

That comes from a faucet

Until you see light again

The warm of the sun 

making you feel comftarble

You feel really happy

And then you are in darkness

It seems us everything is unfair...

Hurricanes of problems

Cellphones ringing 

Airplanes crashing

Death after death

New Born after New born

Revenge after Revenge

Battle after Battle

What is Life?

This is interesting. What is life? Full of death, destruction, and sadness. Ironic, kind of. Yet, people also use life to describe something that they find really thrilling and great, "You haven't *lived* until you've done [insert object/action]!!!"

Maybe life is just a big, giant, ironic contradiction? Hmm, now you've got me thinking. Maybe it's all a game of relatively. Such as: how can you truly know sadness if you cannot recognize happiness? and so on.

And the line about the rollercoasters. I suppose that describes it all, doesn't it? Great job with this one.

"Sorrow dripping from our heads
like rain drops" - I eally liked this imagery
and this;
"Or a Metoerite Makes your universe fall into endless darkness
Problem after problem
War after war
Fear after Fear" - I wish I had written that.

Its a deeply disturbing (but sadly true) look at modern life Lizardo but there are chinks of hope in the dark here which bodes well for us all I feel. No wonder people choose to plug themselves into mp3 players and computer games (or even computers heh heh) to keep the world outside.
well done my friend

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much ANTO, and I agree with you on your statement thats probably the reason why people don't go outside and live their lives, but there is always hope
Thank you My friend

[Don't just B, but B ama..]

Your welcome, the dreaded typos, otherwise AWESOME WORK.

[Jimmy Yetts]

You raise many difficult issues, Lizardo.
As was said in one of my little ditties, "I would call life 'absurd' if there were anything else with which to compare it."
Intriguing piece, L

[Lizardo]

This is a well thought out poem. It talks about a topic that for sure needs to be checked out more often. We're always talking about asteroids and threats from space as being the most likely candidate for causing humanity's extinction, but the truth of the matter is that WE are the ones who will cause our own extinction if we continue down the path we're currently on. Good job, keep up the good writing Lizardo! :)
